| Sumario: | Part of a special section on corporate campaigns. The writer outlines the 1990-91 labor dispute at the Daily News newspaper in New York City. The dispute met with huge publicity due to the size and visibility of the companies involved and the fact that the strike that ultimately finished the dispute was one of the biggest, most costly, and most violent in recent U.S. labor history. Central to the conflict was a dispute over control of the fate of industrial firms in the information era. The core issue of the strike was how, if at all, unions fit into industrial firms whose production techniques and very culture and ethos are being transformed by automation.
